The Zodiac Station 5-7-5 Haiku . Chinese Food The Yin Yang is balance between opposites, yin would be sadness and Yang would be joyfulness To achieve Yin-Yang, you must balance opposites The zodiac was created when an Emperor needed a way to keep track of the years. On his birthday he had animals race across a river. The cat and the rat were not very good swimmers, but they were very clever. They asked the ox if they could ride on his back and he said yes. In the middle of the river the rat pushed the cat off the ox. The rat jumped to the land first and got the first year named after him, leaving the ox the second year. Third came the tired tiger and the third year was named for him. The bunny came next, but hopped across the logs and the fourth year was named for him. The dragon came in next and was the fifth year. The horse would've come in sixth, but the snake slithered between his legs, giving the snake sixth and the horse seventh. next came the rooster, goat, and monkey on a raft. Making the goat eighth, the monkey ninth, and the rooster tenth. The dog came next taking eleventh. The pig got twelfth and when the cat finally came to shore, all spots were take, and now cats and rats are enemies.
